Last spring break, Drew and I flew south to find some warmth. We stayed with family and enjoyed some much needed rest and relaxation. If you are looking for an affordable vacation, head to the Gulf Coast. We flew into Tampa, but often you can find cheap flights from Des Moines into the Punta Gorda airport near Sarasota. Flights can be found for under $100 if you pay close attention. Heading to the beach and strolling around in the sun is a great way to escape reality and good news, it won't cost you a dime. If you are going to splurge, do so on a dinner cruise on the Sarasota Bay at Marina Jack's. If you are lucky you might spot some dolphins! So, what are you waiting for, find a little beach house on airbnb and book your flight today. Escape the cold while you still can!
